[verse 1 - bright, playful vocal, sneer delivery, syncopated]
Have you seen my baby?
She’s nowhere to be found
I looked for her forever
In the sea and on the ground
Have you seen my baby?
I don’t know what’s going on

[deep voice cuts in, dry delivery, syncopated]
Well I haven’t seen her lately
So you better move on

[chorus - tight rhythm, angular melody]
Have you seen her? (Seen her?)
Dancing through the crowd
Like a phantom in the spotlight
Then she vanishes somehow
Have you seen her? (Seen her?)
Tell me where she’s gone
Or I’ll chase this ghost forever
’Til the morning turns to dawn

[verse 2 - bright, playful vocal, sneer delivery, syncopated]
Have you seen my baby?
Checked the corners of the town
Every shadow, every alley
She just slips and spins around
Have you seen my baby?
Like a spark that won’t stay lit

[deep voice - dry, almost taunting]
Well the world is full of strangers
Maybe she just wanted it

[chorus - driving, more urgent]
Have you seen her? (Seen her?)
Dancing through the crowd
Like a rumor in the doorway
Like a song that’s far too loud
Have you seen her? (Seen her?)
Tell me where she’s gone
Or I’ll chase this ghost forever
’Til the night gives in to dawn

[bridge - bass groove takes over, almost spoken]
[playful voice]
If you catch her in the mirror
Better hold that gaze real tight
’Cause she moves just like a flicker
Then she’s gone into the night

[deep voice, booming low]
You can search across the ocean
You can search across the sky
But some lovers disappear, boy
Without saying goodbye

[chorus - full, both voices interplaying]
Have you seen her? (Seen her?)
Dancing through the crowd
Like a phantom in the spotlight
Then she vanishes somehow
Have you seen her? (Seen her?)
Tell me where she’s gone
Or I’ll chase this ghost forever
Chase this ghost forever—
’Til the morning turns to dawn!

[outro - call & response, sharp guitar stabs]
[playful voice] Have you seen my baby?
[deep voice] You better move on
[playful voice] Have you seen my baby?
[deep voice] Well, she’s already gone
